About
Seok Joong Yun is a leading urologic oncologist whose research centers on prostate and kidney cancer outcomes, with a particular focus on treatment decision-making, healthcare economics, and surgical quality. His most influential work, a 2018 longitudinal cohort study (21 citations), provides critical insights into health-related quality of life changes following open, laparoscopic, and robotic radical prostatectomy—information that directly empowers patients facing treatment choices. Yun also conducted a landmark nationwide population-based study using Korean National Health Insurance data (15 citations), revealing national practice patterns and direct medical costs for prostate cancer over a decade, offering invaluable evidence for health policy and resource allocation. His extensive 28-year surgical series analyzing over 6,200 renal mass patients documents evolving clinical and pathologic trends in Korea. More recently, Yun has explored innovative prognostic markers, such as pre-operative internal obturator muscle mass index on MRI, to predict biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy. Through these contributions, Yun has shaped both clinical practice and health policy in urologic oncology, providing essential data for personalized treatment planning and cost-effective care.
